Trump approves the execution of Nidal Malek Hassan by firing squad on the recommendation of the Secretary of War

Parnell said on the “X” platform: “Based on the recommendation of Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, President Trump agreed to carry out the death penalty by firing squad by a team of American ground forces against the terrorist Nidal Malik Hassan, who opened fire on unarmed American soldiers at Fort Hood.”

He added, "Determining the date and place of implementation will be within the authority of the Minister of the Army."

On November 5, 2009, Nidal Hassan, a military psychiatrist, entered the Overseas Deployment Center at Fort Hood, Texas, and shot soldiers with a handgun.

The attack resulted in the death of 13 people and the injury of 32 others, and Hassan was seriously injured during the police attempt to stop him, which led to him becoming paralyzed in the lower half during his arrest.
